DUNS Number

A Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number is a unique 9-digit identifier issued by Dun & Bradstreet. Required for FDA's Unique Facility Identifier (UFI) and frequently requested by U.S. customs, retail buyers, and federal contracting. We handle the application and follow-up on your behalf.

What's Included:

• Full D&B DUNS Number application submission

• Coordination with D&B for any clarification requests

• Delivery of your assigned DUNS Number

• One-time service — DUNS Numbers don't expire

• Reference documentation suitable for FDA submission or buyer onboarding

Who It's For:

Importers, manufacturers, and businesses that need a DUNS Number for FDA registration (as Unique Facility Identifier), federal contracting (SAM.gov), retailer onboarding (Walmart, Amazon, etc.), or international trade documentation. If you've already been assigned one in the past, you don't need a new one.

FAQs:
Q: Isn't a DUNS Number free directly from D&B?
A: D&B does offer a free DUNS Number application, but the process can take 30+ business days and requires several rounds of clarification.

Q: Do I need a DUNS Number to register with FDA?
A: As of October 2020, FDA requires a Unique Facility Identifier (UFI) at registration. DUNS is the ONLY UFI the FDA accepts. If you're missing one, we'll need to obtain it before completing your FDA registration.

Q: Does a DUNS Number expire?
A: No. Once issued, it's permanent. D&B may periodically request updated business info, but the number itself doesn't expire.
